How To Play The Game.

Lily sat on her bed with her laptop in front of her, staring the blank screen.

She hadn't written anything on her blog in almost a month and knew that she needed to update something, but she had nothing to say. Her followers had left comments asking where she was and what was going on, so Lily knew that they were still interested. She had things to write about, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

Over the last month Lily had begun to feel very guilty about the blog and how she had written personal things about Michael and all of her other boyfriends. She just felt like it was unfair now, especially since her relationship with Michael didn't turn out to be just a month long fling like she thought it would be.

She wanted to stop writing the blog all together but there was something that was holding her back and for some reason Lily couldn't figure out what it was. She considered telling Michael about it, she didn't think that he should be that mad at her, considering that Lily wasn't really doing anything wrong, but she knew that Michael would get upset, that's just who he was.

So for now Lily was just staring at her MacBook, wondering whether she should actually write a blog post or if she should just look at the computer screen for another hour.

"Babe." Michael said and Lily looked up, realizing that he was standing right in front of her.

"Yeah?" She asked, slamming her laptop shut.

"Did you hear what I said?" Michael frowned, drying his hair with a towel. He'd just gotten out of the shower and Lily had been so focused on her blog that she didn't notice.

"Uh, no." Lily said, shaking her head.

"Seriously?" Michael asked, raising an eyebrow. He turned around and disappeared into the bathroom again, leaving the towel in there.

"I was kind of zoning out, sorry." Lily admitted, biting down on her bottom lip.

"Yeah, alright." Michael nodded, and if Lily didn't know any better she would think that Michael was glaring at her.

"What did you say?" Lily asked, hoping that Michael wasn't mad at her over something so little like this.

"I asked if you were hungry." Michael sighed. He was in a bad mood today and Lily didn't know why, he had been since they woke up, that's why he almost immediately got in the shower and didn't even bother to jokingly ask if Lily would join him.

"No, I'm fine." Lily said and gave Michael a small smile. She wasn't that hungry, despite the fact that it was already noon and Lily had woken up a little over an hour before.

"Oh, alright." Michael nodded, looking down at the floor. "I think I'm gonna go out and get something to eat."

"Do we not have food here?" Lily asked.  They were at her apartment and she was sure that they had some food in the kitchen, Michael didn't need to go out.

"No, you do. There's salad stuff but I don't really like salads..." Michael trailed off. "I just want some fast food, I think."

"Oh." Lily nodded. She didn't like fast food and Michael knew that. "Do you want me to come with you? I can go get dressed."

"No, I was just going to run out and get something quickly and then I'll come back. You don't need to come with." Michael said, shaking his head. He let out another big sigh, and Lily knew that there was something bothering him that he wasn't mentioning.

"Oh, alright." Lily said slowly. She really didn't mind going out with Michael for just a little bit, but if he didn't want her coming then she wouldn't.
